Old Spice Pure Sport

I found this at a local discount store in a bin with a bunch of other healthcare products, I remember reading about it that it had a nice scent, so I decided to pick it up. For $4 it was a no-brainer. This IS a review of the aftershave version.

I've used it about 4 or 5 times and have been very pleased with the performance. The scent out of the bottle is kind of strong, but once applied to the face it calms down quickly and leaves a nice, fresh, kind of oceanic scent. I like it, even though most of the scents in this realm don't do much for me.

Feels great on the face at first application. A slight tingle, but no burn so far, as I haven't really had any major razor burn to judge. It's not immedately obvious to me that it's an alcohol aftershave, but as I said, I try not to chop the hell out of my face.

After the dry down, my face feels fantastic.. soft and smooth. I usually give a cold water splash after my aftershave dries a bit, and I found this works well with the OS PS as well. I felt no need for a balm today, though that's probably more of a function of the great shaves I've been getting from my C&E Nomad soap... but, my face doesn't feel dried out at all.

This was a definate "find" and I'm glad I jumped on it. Effective, great scent, nice feel on the face and I couldn't beat the price. Oh, and great glass bottle too.

As this is a cologne, not an aftershave, I marked zero's for the qualities that do not apply.

Price: Really good considering the quality and name. The bottle feels and looks like it's much more expensive than it actually is.

Quality: Very good, you get a nice translucent glass bottle with the blue cologne inside. Lasts for a long time. Putting it on in the morning, can still smell it into the late afternoon/early evening.

Scent: Very nice... not the usual Old Spice scent :frown:

, but still very good. As I said above, lasts a long time.

Efficacy: Does what it's supposed to do. Smells good, lasts a long time, noticable.

Overall very good. I would definately recommend! :thumbup1:

It probably wasn't an aftershave. OS Pure Sport is a cologne. Colognes can be pretty irritating to use as an aftershave.

Now, to the product review. It's a decent scent, an Oriental fragrance like the original Old Spice, with more modern sensibilities. I detect licorice and pepper in there somewhere, with an amberg/musky background. It is somewhat more monodimensional and less rounded than the original. I'm not sure this is a good cologne to wear if you want to stand out, unless you are older, because OS Pure Sport is pretty popular with young people as a deodorant right now.

Frankly, I'm a little disappointed. I was expecting Old Spice would come out with something fresh or aquatic smelling, without the fruity top notes of theiir OS Signature lineup. This smells less avant-garde. To me a modern, sporty mass-market fragrance would be more like Brut Revolution. But all in all this is not a bad cologne, just not totally original- a cologne based on a body spray/deodorant aimed at young adults and teens.
